Forget Venice, New York and Bali! These places have long become one of the most popular for romantic travel and therefore commonplace. And I want such a vacation to be remembered forever. So why not take a real trip to the perfect romantic getaway?

For a sporting couple - Hart Reef, Whitsunday Islands, Australia

Hart Reef belongs to the famous Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia, and its shape resembles the shape of a heart.

You can get to it only by helicopter or seaplane. And then - go to one of the islands around to enjoy each other.

In the cities of Cairns or Port Douglas, you can choose an excursion or take a whole course of study and enjoy the view of colorful fish.

If you prefer to walk rather than swim, it is worth visiting the top of Mount Oldfield - at an altitude of 212 meters above sea level. From here you can see many islands and you can even admire whales and dolphins, now and then emerging from the water.

For fans of impressive views - the roofs of St. Petersburg, Russia

The city of drawbridges, white nights and endless embankments is one of the most amazing in Russia. Secluded palaces-wells, Nevsky Prospect, tirelessly playing with lights, lively squares - every corner of the Northern capital is romantic in its own way. And the most impressive view of it is, of course, from above.

You can watch the sunset on one of the roofs of ancient buildings in the center of St. Petersburg. It's no secret that many of them can be easily accessed. A breathtaking view of the city of Petra opens up from above, and complete seclusion will only add magic to the moment.

Roofers on the momondo blog covered the ins and outs of rooftop tours. If you don't feel like climbing the dusty stairs, there are always official viewing platforms, for example, the famous colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral. By the way, in summer, during the white nights, it is open at night - until 4:30.

For those who strive for nature - Novy Svet, Crimea, Russia

Novy Svet is a village on the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula. This place will appeal to couples who like to feel truly at one with nature. On Cape Kapchik, which seems to crash into the Black Sea, you will be able to make a truly unforgettable offer. Here, as if at the end of the world, only you and the endless blue expanses will remain.

You can continue your romantic walk in the mountains, exploring the Golitsyn trail, and then go to celebrate a joyful event at the House of Champagne Wines!

For Book Lovers - The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, France

Paris is considered one of the most romantic cities on the planet. And often lovers come to him to propose at the famous Eiffel Tower or on the Champs Elysees.

These places are beautiful, but you are unlikely to be the only such couple there. Better to go for a walk in the Luxembourg Gardens, especially if both of you are passionate about literature. After all, this cozy park was often visited by Baudelaire, Balzac, Hemingway and Sartre. Here you can find the old fountain of Marie de Medici with a sculpture of the 17th century. She depicts the lovers Acis and Galatea, who are watched by the Cyclops Polyphemus.

For the sophisticated nature - Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria

The Vienna summer residence of the Austrian emperors is an exquisite place with a happy history. Empress Maria Theresia, who lived there, had a very successful personal life - with a loving husband and sixteen children.

Here you can talk about the future of your relationship in a Baroque setting or in a park with a labyrinth and a Japanese garden, and then attend a strudel show at a local cafe and learn the secret of this spicy delicacy.

Those who want to impress the chosen one not only with the environment, but also with their talents, should take a few dance lessons and take their beloved to Vienna during the ballroom season. At this time, more than 450 balls are held in the city, and the culmination, by the way, falls on January-February. Just imagine: evening dresses, the sounds of classical music, a spinning waltz and your proposal in the midst of a magnificent celebration, how can you resist?..

For the sublime couple - Taj Mahal in Agra, India

Energy in India is incomparable. If this country has attracted you for a long time, then you will not find a better place for a romantic trip. Moreover, it is here that there is a monument to eternal true love - the Taj Mahal.

The unique palace of white marble, as if floating above the ground, was erected by the order of the ruler of Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, with whom he was immensely happy. At different times of the day, the architectural miracle looks different, for example, in the rain it seems translucent, and at sunset - golden.

For passionate natures - Granada, Spain

Granada's ancient red fortress, the Alhambra, rises on top of a hill and offers a magnificent view of the city. Lovers will find graceful arches and carved tiles, as well as marvelous gardens with fountains that breathe freshness and coolness.

If you want to add sensuality and passion to your travel, you can go to the distinctive gypsy quarter of Sacromonte. Here, right in the caves of the 15th century, enchanting flamenco concerts are held. The rhythms of castanets will help melt the beauty's heart.

For the unflappable couple - Vaadhoo beach, Maldives

A trip to the Maldives will in itself be remembered for a long time, especially for those who are interested in the underwater world. And just relaxing on the sand under the rays of the soft sun together with your loved one will bring a lot of pleasure.

But at night, from about July to February, on the beach of Vaadhoo Island, lovers await a special spectacle, which the locals call "The Life of Light". Along the coast, the water is illuminated by the glow of a thousand blue lights. This is a natural phenomenon - this is how the plankton living here glows. And it seems as if there was a starry sky under your feet.

For ecotourists - Yellowstone, USA

Nature lovers will appreciate a trip to Yellowstone National Park. It has 1,770 kilometers of marked trails, a variety of geysers and hot springs, and museums to explore this incredible place.

In winter you can join a dog sledding expedition, and in the warmer months you can try rafting in the Gallatin Canyon. And at the same time, you can settle in a campsite or at a ranch nearby. After rich impressions of walks through the natural beauty, it's time to offer your beloved your hand and heart against the backdrop of rocky mountains, flower meadows, transparent lakes or among geysers - where the Earth breathes.

“Traveling together is an important stage for every couple, and, of course, I want to turn it into a truly magical moment. There are so many amazing romantic places in the world that everyone can find a corner for themselves and their loved ones in taste and character. For example, momondo's Where To Go? Service can help, which categorizes destinations by season, side of the world, budget and mood. There is a separate filter for romantics,”says Irina Ryabovol, representative of the momondo international travel metasearch.
